The original, first produced in 1999. Still looks new today. The 6.0 Litre V12 only 444bhp. Only 3 were actually sold to customers, but there were 2 extra; one for the crash tests, and one was turned into a rolling test bed for the 760 (La Nonna). Just one original example remains today, painted in egg yellow and hiding in the rolling hills of Switzerland.

Basically the same as a C12 , but with a 7.0, 547bhp engine. Unveiled in 2000, 16 were made in 2 years. Visually, we’ve got a completely new bonnet with a pillar like shape in the grill. Also, instead of having one wing, it’s got two!

Bigger engine yet again, and the first vehicle to spawn a roadster variant. While it didn’t have a power bump over the C12S.0, the max RPM was increased to 7000. 17 coupes were made after it was unveiled in 2002, (one of which is part of Horacio's personal collection), and it actually broke the record for production cars around the Nurburgring at the time, completing it in 7:44.

The “F” stands for Fangio, the great racing driver. The Coupe was unveiled in 2005, and the roadster in 2006. The Zonda F also had a Clubsport coupe and roadster and a Clubsport Final Edition Coupe and Roadster as well. Power was increased to 594bhp, with a completely new look. The clubsport was even more insane, producing 641bhp, which shot the Zonda once again into the Nurburgring record books with a time of 7:27.

​

Only 25 units were made.

Thanks to an original roof made out of carbon fiber and cloth (removable in a few seconds) and due to the use of carbon fabrics for the construction of the central chassis, bodywork and interior, it was possible to maintain the dry weight of 1230kg, which translates in a weight/power ratio of 1,89kg/hp for the Clubsport version.

​

Only 25 units were made.

The Pagani Zonda F Clubsport Roadster "Final Edition" was distinguished by a full visible carbon fiber body dressed in black, followed by grey hide for the interior. Some of the original features of the Zonda F were retained such as the folding roof with central carbon fiber spine and the lower canvas areas. The best tool kept from the original model is the 7.3 Liter naturally aspirated AMG engine mated to a manual transmission that together deliver a total of 650 hp.

This track monster has a CLK GTR derived, 740bhp V12. The car weighs 1070kg. That leads to a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds and a Nurburgring time of 6:47.48. Despite sharing much of the Zonda's shape, the R is almost entirely new, sharing only 10% of the Zonda F's components. It has been obliquely suggested by Horacio Pagani that this car is a testbed chassis for certain components of the Zonda's replacement, the Pagani Huayra.

​

Only 15 units were made. 

Meaning “Grandmother” in Italian, this is the oldest Zonda. It started off life as the original C12, before being constantly upgraded to new specifications over the years. As Pagani’s testing Zonda, it’s done over one million miles, making it the highest mileage Pagani. It was fully restored for Horacio Pagani’s 60th birthday in 2015, and currently has the 760 engine mated to a 7-speed sequential gearbox. You can currently find it in Pagani’s museum.

A project born to satisfy the request of the Pagani dealer for Hong Kong "SPS". It was the first Pagani car to be equipped with sequential gearbox manageable both with paddles behind the steering and with the traditional gear stick on central tunnel. Besides, it was the first Zonda to use the new Pagani invention, the carbon-titanium, a special fiber purposely created for the Zonda Cinque. This monster has 678 hp, 780 Nm torque, and forged monolock titanium wheels.

​

Only 5 units were made.

The Cinque experience is enhanced with the roof stored in the front bonnet, when the storm of air being fed to the 678hp Mercedes AMG V12 engine through the massive intake just inches over the passengers' ears, accompanies the exhaust note of the bespoke Pagani Zonda Cinque Inconel and Titanium exhaust system.

Only 5 units were made.

Pagani Automobili created the Pagani Zonda Tricolore on the occasion of the celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the "Frecce Tricolori", as a tribute to the National Aerobatic Team. One of three, and kind of a 760 predecessor as it has a bit of a dorsal fin.

A one off Zonda C12 race car. Based on a C12S 7.3, an American owner turned it into a track day monster with 592bhp, and a full carbon body. Bonus fact, it was hit by a golf cart at a car show in Connecticut, and stood on by a man dressed in a bear costume at the same show. The bear man was quickly arrested, and the vehicle was unharmed.

Originally a Zonda C12S that was crashed by “an internationally famous racing champ” and sent back to the factory to be repaired, was turned into the one off GJ with 641bhb (essentially an F Clubsport). Then, it was sold to a new owner, whose bodyguard smashed it into some railings in north-west London. It was rebuilt after the crash into the Oliver Evolution.

The bespoke supercar is based on the 760 RS model and specially built for a Pagani Collector in Japan. Unlike other special edition Zondas, this 760 has a uniquely designed rear spoiler and was engineered by one of the world GT champions to generate the maximum downforce to give the ultimate grip on the circuit. The car was tested by the Toyota factory driver and GT500 champion Akira Iida on Fuji Speedway during the Pagani Raduno in Japan. 

Originally made for Peter Saywell, this car was the second Zonda to have the four exhausts horizontally (after a C12 Roadster that had a horizontal aftermarket exhaust fitted). Basically a Zonda F Clubsport, you’ve got 640bhp on tap, with a sequential gearbox. It was then crashed, and turned into the 760 PS MKII. 

When the 760 PS (MKI) had an accident, it had to be rebuilt. Therefore, Mr. Saywell upgraded it to a 760 spec. Instead of being white and carbon with yellow, it was changed blue and carbon, with yellow calipers. This car skidded on an oil slick in late 2017, totaling it, and was rebuilt again.

After crashing yet again, original owner Peter Saywell had his beloved car rebuilt. The Cinque style air intakes are gone, but apart from that the general body features are the same. The sequential gearbox has been replaced with a manual, for proper driving pleasure. The common color scheme (from the past two) of Blue and carbon, with yellow, remains.

The Zonda 750 was another special one-off edition Zonda for a member of the Al-Thani family. However the order for it was canceled due to a disagreement between the proposed owner and Pagani. The 750 is mainly based on the Cinque, but also features several custom parts. It was later revealed that it was a Zonda Cinque development mule that appeared in the short film of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. It is now known as the Zonda 760 La Nonna and upgraded to the 760 series specifications.

A satin black carbon fiber, right hand drive with the engine from a Cinque. This was an F that was crashed, and therefore upgraded to pretty much the Cinque spec, switching to the 670bhp V12 and going from a manual to a paddleshift. 

This vehicle did not crash, but it’s had a few changes. It now has a more aggressive front end, with double canards instead of single, and a dorsal fin has been added. There’s no information about any performance upgrades, so we can assume it still has the 670bhp V12.

The Zonda 760 Series is a Zondas' line-up built for special customers. These cars have a 7.3 LM297 engine but with the output of 760 hp and 780 N⋅m. The 760-series Zondas are considered to be the most powerful road-legal Zondas ever produced. The Zonda 760RS is a one-off version built for a very close friend of Horacio Pagani. It is finished with a tinted carbon exterior and black interior. The 760RS also features a distinctive rear fin that runs down the center of the car, while also feature the same air ducts and roof air intake as the Cinque

Same as the Zonda 760 RS, it features a different colour, purple, both for the exterior and the interior, and a manual gearbox instead of the sequential one. It has been commissioned upon request of Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton, hence the initials LH. The car was involved in an accident in Monaco in late 2015 but was later repaired and still remains in possession of Hamilton.

The Zonda 764 Passione features the same appearances as that of the 760RS and the 760LH, but it is an upgraded Zonda F and features a bigger rear spoiler and bigger distinctive central rear fin. The car has purple-pink interior with wooden steering wheel, all done upon customer's request. The engine is mated to the same 6-speed manual gearbox Lewis Hamilton commissioned on his Zonda. The 764 Passione was delivered to its owner in Tokyo, Japan

The 760 Fantasma is  a rebuilt Zonda F which was badly damaged in an accident in Hong Kong during 2012. The car was originally commissioned by Peter Saywell, who later sold it to a Chinese businessman in Hong Kong. It was repaired and received all the 760-series upgrades. The only details remaining unchanged are wheels and the interior which are from the Zonda F.

​

In 2017 the owner sent the car back to factory for a rebuild and the name was changed from to Zonda Fantasma Evo.

The lights were redesigned, and the seats are the same as the Huayra BC. In place of the original sequential transmission, the Fantasma Evo now sports a manual. Pagani also changed the bodywork, incorporating new carbon fiber pieces. Like every other Zonda, the Fantasma Evo uses a Mercedes-AMG V12 engine, in this case a 7.3-liter unit producing 760 horsepower.

A roadster dubbed the Zonda 760 Kiryu was delivered to Bingo Sports in Japan in 2015, the second 760-series model shipped to that country and the 14th produced overall.  Excluding the modified Zonda F roadster, the Kiryu is only the second roadster in the 760 series. This spec was designed by Mr. Pagani himself, not by a customer.

It was commissioned by a customer in Dubai. The car has exterior features like the other 760 cars and also resembling the Zonda Cinqué. The car does not have the daytime running LED lights and a sequential transmission which makes it stand out from the other one-off models.

This one-off Pagani Zonda is based on the 760 RS model and pays tribute to the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans race. The LM has revised headlamps (only Zonda which has different headlights) and an even bigger rear spoiler than the original 760RS. The LM also has the tricolore stripes depicting the Italian flag on the right side of the bonnet and the German flag on the other side. The rest of the body is built on standard 760 RS specifications. 

A roadster version was also commissioned with the coupé version by the same customer with specifications identical to that of the coupé.

Made for a Danish programmer, it’s got the Cinque’s engine and the F Roadsters bodywork. The owner also commissioned the Koenigsegg Agera HH, in the same colour scheme. It shares the 670bhp V12 from the Cinque, but instead of the paddleshift it has a manual transmission. It doesn’t have a roof scoop, and it’s all the more better for it. It currently resides in Marbella.

The 760 Riviera is another addition to the 760 series of the Zonda which is based on a Zonda F. The owner sent his yellow Zonda F to the factory to get the 760 series treatment. The exterior styling is inspired by the French Riviera (côte d'Azur) along with the Zonda Cinque and includes the addition of a rear spoiler, a roof scoop, rear fin and front splitters. 

This one-off was commissioned by Ronnie Kessel, head of the Kessel Group, the same owner of the Ferrari SP38 one-off. It was unveiled at the 2018 Pagani Raduno event in Italy, and draws on a lot of parts from the Zonda Cinque but has some special features. These include an 800 hp output and a rear-wheel drive, manual transmission layout. The car also has door straps instead of normal door handles.

Built for serial supercar collector Sheikh Abdullah bin Nasser Al-Thani. This vehicle was originally  a crashed Zonda F and was then turned into this one-off masterpiece. Now the car has been sold to another owner, but it still has the faces in the lights and 690bhp. It now resides in China.

Finished in a unique pastel green color with familiar carbon-fiber accents, the RSJX is arguably the most appealing Zonda of the 760 series. The RSJX features a host of aerodynamic add-ons, such as carbon-fiber canards for the front end, a revised diffuser, a Le Mans-inspired fin atop the engine bonnet and a massive fixed wing. This vehicle was specced by an enthusiast in Hong Kong.

Jian Xin, the Zonda X's Chinese owner, decided to create a second identity for his supercar, so he sent it to Modena for it to be renamed as viola (Italian for violet), and paint a big portion of the body in this color, giving it a similar looks to that of Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton's Zonda, the 760 LH. Unlike the LH, the Viola keeps the dorsal stripe with the colors of the Italian flag, as well as the blacked-out rear lights or the central part of the bonnet in unpainted carbon fiber.

This used to be a Zonda F, but the British owner desired an upgrade, so 760 engine was brought in. It gives away its F Roadster origins by the fact that it doesn’t have the headlight faces, or the wider body. However, the exhaust hub is extended from the car. The car was seen in London a few times before disappearing for a few years.

Purple paint, wheel spats, a 3D-arrow shape on the bonnet and LM-style ducktail rear light make for one interesting sight. This Zonda went to Japan. It was involved in a crash in Tokyo, and hasn’t been seen since.

Based on a 760, this has a new splitter, headlight “Eyelids”, and a redesigned wing. Also has the arrow shape on the bonnet, like the Zozo. This car resides in China, as part of a collection that also includes a Koenigsegg One:1.

This used to be a Zonda F, and you can tell. It still has the original wing, coupled with a Cinque style roof scoop. This also doesn’t have the running light faces, but does have a pair of canards on each side and a very unique hood. Also has a plaque that says “1 of 1 of 1 of 1”. Spend enough time in London and you’ll eventually see it.

Another one-off, made for Mileson Guo, has some new lights, where the LED running light curves around the outside of the headlight cluster, wraparound rear lights just like the Zonda LM, JC-like front winglets, and an a completely new wing structure. Like most of the one-off Zondas, this one has the sequential gearbox and the 760 engine.

A one of two race car Zondas that actually competed. Based on a C12 but with 600BHP, it competed in various championships, and even raced at the 2003 Le Mans 24 Hour (but retired just a few laps in with a gearbox fault). There were many iterations, each more extreme than the next. It weighs just 1100kg. 

This was originally a C12 7.3S owned by a Taiwanese businessman, WASN’T crashed, but the owner simply wanted an upgrade.  It has also had Zonda F parts upgrade, hence the new splitter and wing, and it features a Tricolore-esque fin. car has reached a top speed of 215MPH. After going through a few owners, it now lives in London, but is rarely driven.

We really don’t know that much about this car, except that it uses the sequential gearbox and was made for a customer in Dubai. It’s all exposed carbon, apart from a maroon stripe down the middle. 

This car was commissioned by a wealthy fan, but later the payment of the vehicle fell through, and the project was scrapped. It is unknown weather or not the chassis was turned into a later vehicle. Some speculate this design shows Horacio's early concept ques for his later creation, the HP Barchetta.

Another one-off Zonda that has been exclusively built by Pagani for a specific clientele, in this case, the Auto Salon Singen in Germany. From the looks of things, the car simply looks like a Pagani Zonda Cinque dressed up in yellow paint with the car’s interior taking the color of the exterior in the form of some yellow stitching on the leather racing seats. Sadly, the $2.5M project fell through on the customer's end, and the vehicle never saw the road.

Excuse the poor quality photo, but this is one of very few photos of the car called Green Diamond. It’s a 760 Roadster which is a unique chassis, with Mileson-style headlights, R-style rear lights (like the LM), and extended carbon arches. It also features the same  splitter as the Aether, the “basic” 760 dorsal fin and wing, and Cinque rear fender intakes. No technical details, but judging by a video it looks to be a stick-shift. It features carbon with green flakes in it, and also green pinstripes. Little to nothing else is known about this elusive vehicle.

Looking like a Tricolore roadster, this one-off (built on a new chassis) was created for Topcar design in Marbella. Not much is known about this, which is surprising considering how “public” the car is, but it would be reasonable to assume that it’s powered by the 760 engine. However we know for certain that it is equipped with a manual gearbox.

This was originally a Zonda F, which has been rebuilt into another 760 Model. Finished in full carbon, it features a Cinque-style wing, no dorsal fin, and the JC/Mileson style front winglets. It is right hand drive,  and was headed to Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore or perhaps even the UK.

​

This vehicle is NOT owned by the infamous American Pagani Collector "The King".

Originally a Zonda  F Roadster, then was totaled in an accident. Rebuilt into the Zun upgrades to the 760 spec, new color, and a few design changes. Owner is "Zunzun" in China, a famous supercar collector.

With the Zonda R as a base, the Evolution gets new gigantic front canards, a dorsal fin, and a 49bhp bump up to 789bhp! 5 were going to be made from scratch, and existing Zonda Rs (of which there were only 15) were going to have the option to upgrade, but in the end only one was made.

While it keeps the 789bhp V12 from the Zonda R Evolution, it is lighter thanks to new brakes and suspension. What makes this car even quicker than the rest is the DRS system. This allows for less grip on the straights and more grip in the corners. While no official Nurburgring time has been released by Pagani, there is evidence that one of the 5 cars had lapped the Green Hell in 6:30, over 15 seconds quicker than the Zonda R.

​

5 units were made.

The last of the “series” Zondas. At the front, the Mileson-style splitter wings are paired with F-style foglights, as well as Cinque-style canards. Cinque parts are prevalent throughout the back and the side - intakes from this can be seen, as well as the wing around the back, twinned with LM Style rear lights. The most obvious differences though are the wheel spats, new air intake and of course the chopped windscreen. Just 3 will be made, with the first car going into Horacio’s personal collection. The price is rumoured to be around $15 Million.

This was the first (and so far, only) Pagani to be redesigned and rebuilt by a company other than Pagani itself. Japanese customization company Anija, has a design team dubbed the "A-Team". This team of car enthusiasts is lead by Yamada-san, who purchased a Zonda C12S.3 "without intent to modify". We all know how that turned out. Slowly but surely he began tweaking design elements, namely the lights, wing, exhaust, rims, and so on.

There is no official distinction between the MKI, MKII, and MKIII listed on this Registry. The vehicle has been continuously upgraded and modified over its lifespan. In looking at the many variations of this vehicle over its extensive history, I have taken it upon myself to determine separate generations of the vehicle, based on key component changes. At some point, "K" is dropped from the vehicle name, the color is changed, and upgrades include new lights, wing, and heavy body work. 

As of 2019, this is its current form, but who's to say I wont mark another generation if the evolutions continue? This MKIII has had significant body work since MKII, and a full interior redesign as well. This generation also sees LED Halo headlights, LED taillights redesigned mirrors, new rims, and a new "tail" wing. It's been dubbed the "Shark of the Streets" by fans.

(continued below)

(continued from above)

Anija seems determined to continue adding to and tweaking this vehicle. All the while receiving modifications and upgrades, the chassis and engine have remained original to the C12S.3 it started as. Anija believes the original engine "needs no refinement" and is a masterpiece in tis own right. It is unknowmn how may miles this beast has accumulated in its many years of travel.
